Max Scherzer gives up two runs in loss to Braves

Max Scherzer gave up two runs on five hits in 8.1 innings pitched, striking out nine batters.

What It Means:

It was another great start for Scherzer, who wasn't able to lead the Nationals to a win. Scherzer now has a 1.82 ERA and 2.79 xFIP, and has been an ace all season. He's a top fantasy option and the fact that he wasn't able to garner a win shouldn't be taken into account when considering his fantasy value.
